Giving a Presentation |
false |
Boston Python's presentation events are a place for members of our community to share what they've learned about making Python programs. Giving a presentation to our audience is a way to give back to the community, and it helps you understand the subject matter better - it's a win all around!
Presenters do not need to be "experts", they do not need to have contributed to the Python language, created a library, or written a book. Anyone who has worked with the language and learned something interesting from doing so has something to share, and our community wants to hear you share it.
If you're not sure whether you've got a Boston Python presentation in you, take this quiz:
- Have you learned something about the Python language or ecosystem?
- Has it been useful to you?
- Do you think someone else might find it useful?
If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, there's a presentation waiting to happen - and we'll help you find it, if you want.
We're open to topics of interest to a community of Python users and learners, ranging from quick "lightning talks" to deep-dive talks. Ideally, talks should be pitched to an audience including users of all levels, from beginner to experienced professional.
If you think a topic would be interesting to you, that's a good start! To inspire you, we have a long list of past talks If you're still not sure, reach out to an organizer by email or on slack and we'll help you find a topic.
If you're interested in presenting to the Boston Python community, and you have a topic in mind, you can start by filling out this form. If you have questions about giving a presentation, you can always reach out to an organizer in the Boston Python Slack workspace (Jon, Ned, Emily, and James are good bets to start with).
